The life-size figures have traveled to other major cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas. Park People even made their way to the White House for a guest appearance in 2016.

Sawaya spent months creating the figures, using only LEGO® blocks.

You can find the Park People relaxing on park benches at Allen Center on The Acre, but only until August 10. The figures will find a new home at the Houston Center on August 13-August 24.
